The purpose of this study was to comprehend the significance of newspaper utilization in education, as experienced by NIE instructors. To achieve this goal, the purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of the NIE instructors’ experience in teaching “Newspaper In Education”. To achieve this goal, the meaning of experience was derived using Colaizzi's analysis method among the phenomenological research methods for four NIE instructors who founded the Jeju NIE Society, a social education organization. As a result, it was classified into three categories, eight major topics, and 24 sub-topics, and the three categories were 'Meet NIE', 'In Conflict and Confusion', and 'Growing with NIE', respectively. The main conclusions based on these results are as follows. First, NIE helps form a life attitude to contribute to society by leading to more important recognition of community values. Second, if an NIE course is prepared for public education and applied to students, it will not only help develop core competencies in the 2022 revised curriculum, but also play a good role in solving video-oriented problems. Third, if you want to get out of the NIE recession, the first priority should be to develop the capabilities of instructors. This study is meaningful in that it grasped the nature and meaning of the NIE instructors experience based on the vivid experiences of field instructors.
